The Jurisdiction of the Polish Supreme Court in the Scope of Practical Problems Connected with Leave on RequestSummary The article discusses the role of the jurisdiction of the Polish Supreme Court in the scope of practical problems connected with leave on request. Ever since its introduction in the Polish Labour Code, this institution has been generating misgivings and reservations both as regards the case law and the doctrine. The role of the Supreme Court in connection with this regulation is significant due to the legislator’s lack of precision. Verdicts handed down by the Supreme Court on these issues have in general been changing the legal character of the institution by emphasising the organisational function of labour law. The interpretation of these legal provisions proposed by the Supreme Court has clarified some of the rights and duties of parties in matters connected with leave on request. Despite this, there are still situations where the current wording of the provisions may lead to disputes between employee and employer. Therefore, the current provisions of the Labour Code within this scope require amendment.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi przegląd orzecznictwa Sądu Najwyższego w przedmiocie kształtowania przez niego charakteru zobowiązania poręczyciela wekslowego. Ustawowa regulacja tej instytucji nie jest wyczerpująca, więc wymaga doprecyzowania przez doktrynę i judykaturę. Publikacja jest deliberowaniem nad typowymi cechymi zobowiązania awalisty jakimi są: abstrakcyjność, solidarność, nieodwołalność, akcesoryjność formalna, samodzielność i bezwarunkowość oraz scharakteryzowano je pokrótce w oparciu o tezy i uzasadnienia Sądu Najwyższego oraz literaturę. Autorka wyraża ponadto swoją opinię na temat słuszności pewnych wniosków SN, odnosząc się do nich aprobująco bądź krytycznie. Legal character of the avalist’s obligation — review of the Supreme Court’s case lawThis article is a review of the Supreme Court’s case law regarding the nature of the commitment from a bill of exchange. The statutory regulation of this institution is not exhaustive, and thus it requires clarification by doctrine and judicature. The publication indicates typical features of the avalist’s commitment: abstractionism, solidarity, irrevocability, formal accessibility, independence and unconditionality, and they are characterized briefly in relation to the thesis and justifications of the Supreme Court. Furthermore, the author expresses her opinion about certain theses of the Supreme Court: she approves some of them and criticizes others.

Traditional Understanding

When examining the recent evolution of the Constitution, it is argued that the UK has become more ‘legal’ as opposed to ‘political’. The last twenty years has seen a growth in legislation and case law, particularly that of the Supreme Court, regulating aspects of the UK constitution. This chapter investigates this claim. It argues that, whilst we can point to a growth in both legislation and case law, when we look at the case law more closely we can see that the courts balance an array of factors when determining how far to control executive actions. These factors include an analysis of the relative institutional features and constitutional role of the legislature, the executive and the courts. This evidence, in turn, questions the traditional understanding of the separation of powers as a hidden component of the UK constitution. It is not the case that courts merely balance the rule of law and parliamentary sovereignty in order to determine how far to control executive actions. Rather, the courts determine how to make this balance through the lens of the separation of powers, evaluating institutional and constitutional features. In doing so, they are upholding necessary checks and balances in the UK constitution.

The Supreme Court

The basis of this article is the analysis of the functioning of a contractual penalty in the years 1965–1989, i.e. from the time the Civil Code entered into force until the end of the Polish People’s Republic period. The research was carried out by means of analysing the legal provisions, the caselaw of the Supreme Court and the views of the doctrine. Its purpose is to reflect and draw conclusions on the functioning of the civil law institution — a contractual penalty — under authoritarian governments. The considerations were focused on selected problems, first of all concentrating on the Supreme Court’s case-law. Legal relations with the participation of socialized economy units become an important element of these considerations. The provisions of the Civil Code constitute the starting point, but they cannot be interpreted in isolation from the provisions of other normative acts that introduced special legal solutions in contracts with the participation of units of the socialized economy. The confrontation of theory and practice shows how the obligations imposed on entities of civil law are enforced. Against this background, issues of key importance for civil law emerge. They relate to the principles of concluding contracts, the performance of obligations, and the consequences of a failure to perform the contract.

Court Practice

The article covers the doctrinal issues of judicial precedent and case law in the legal doctrine, substantiates the need for formalization and official recognition of the actual role of the decisions of the supreme courts in similar cases. Traditional doctrinal delimitation and contrasting case law and judicial practice leads to refuse of taking into account the positive experience of the functioning of case law in common law countries. Taking into account such experience would help to satisfy the demands of the court practice in raising the significance of the decisions of the supreme courts in similar cases. In Ukraine, as in many post-Soviet countries, there is a tendency to refuse explanations of legislation on the basis of summarizing of court practice, and at the same time formalization and official recognition of the bindiness and normativity of decisions of the supreme courts in specific cases. In this regard, the peculiarities of the introducing and development of the case law of the Supreme Court in Ukraine at various stages are analyzed. Also highlighted their positive and negative aspects.

Impairment Ratings

Abstract Medical evaluators must understand the context for the impairment assessments they perform. This article exemplifies issues that arise based on the role of impairment ratings and what edition of the AMA Guides to the Impairment of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) is used. This discussion also raises interesting legal questions related to retroactivity, applicability of prior precedent, and delegation. On June 20, 2017, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania handed down its decision, Protz v. WCAB (Derry Area Sch. Dist.), which disallows use of the “most recent edition” of the AMA Guides when determining partial disability entitlement under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. An attempted solution was passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and was signed into law Act 111 on October 24, 2018. Although it affirms that the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, must be used for impairment ratings, the law reduces the threshold for total disability benefits from 50% to 35% impairment. This legislative adjustment benefited injured workers but sparked additional litigation about whether, when, and how the adjustment should be applied (excerpts from the laws and decisions discussed by the authors are included at the end of the article). In using impairment as a threshold for permanent disability benefits, evaluators must distinguish between impairment and disability and determine an appropriate threshold; they also must be aware of the compensation and adjudication process and of the jurisdictions in which they practice.
